Abstract excerpt
Gilbert's syndrome is characterized by mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. The key of this disease is a diminished activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1). TA insertion into the TATA box promoter region of the UGT1A1 gene on chromosome 2 is the genetic basis of Gilbert's syndrome (UGT1A1*28). An extra TA insert leads to eight (TA)8 repeats (UGT1A1*37) resulting in a further reduction of...
